The Money Vacuum phenomenon.
I have just realised why artists are often out of pocket on projects (one reason among many).
When close to the opening of an exhibition something happens and we start to throw money at it. Extra fast postage, having something made because you’re out of time, getting things made/printed just in case, even though if you had time to really think, you’d know you didn’t need said things. etc etc.
Before you know it, you’ve spend a fortune because you want the thing to be right, or the best it can be.
I knew this already of course, but I think I’ll remember it next time. My behaviour will probably stay the same though.
